  • I could truly go on and on about this AMAZING WOMAN. I was clueless and so scared reaching out to a lawyer about my case. But Jillian was with me through every step. She was so thorough and had no problems explaining anything I didn’t understand. She made me feel os so much value and I am so grateful for her. In the end I won my settlement. Because of her legal expertise, I always refer everyone to her.

I was extremely stressed and ready to give up on my case, when I first met Jillian…We clicked immediately, and I knew everything would work out. It’s rare to meet someone so knowledgeable, relentless, and confident who leads with humanity and empathy. Everything felt easy throughout the time we worked together. I got justice and hopefully, a friend for life. I’m incredibly grateful to have found Jillian and this exceptional practice.
